Another option is to take the southbound 605 Freeway to eastbound 91 Freeway, back to 5. Drivers heading the other direction can take this route in reverse.

The northbound detour will take drivers off at Norwalk Boulevard, where they can head straight toward Imperial Highway or turn right on Norwalk to get to Imperial Highway. From there, drivers turn left on Imperial Highway and get on the northbound 605, before getting on the northbound 5 Freeway. 

Those who encounter the detour heading south can take the southbound 5 to the 605 South, exit on Imperial Highway, and turn right and head south on the ramp.
